verse 1 
    Am        Amadd6   Am    C/G  G    Em         F 
You hold it     in    your    hands,       let it flow,  
      Am        Amadd6 Am     C/G      G    Em    F 
this cruelty, of youth as you fall   again      alone 
        Am     G   Em ' F      C   
and the compromise of truth 

Chorus 1 
F             Am          G                        F 
  It's in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger 
           Am                 G            
We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?

verse 2 
         Am      Amadd6   Am    C/G  G        Em         F 
and the stakes, remain   too     high,   from the silent mind 
         Am        Amadd6 Am    C/G  G         Em             F 
and the shake, the lonely        inch,   that course down my spine 
   Am        G      F      
to leave the love divine 
       Am        G     F     C   
don't leave the love divine 
F                        C 
   it's a water tight excuse 


F              Am          G                        F 
   It's in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger 
           Am                 G                 F 
We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution? 
             Am          G                        F      F 
It's in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger 

verse 3 
Am            Amadd6  Am          C/G  G             F 
  How does the earth around your   feet,   just slip away? 
      Am         Amadd6 Am         C/G  G          Em   F 
And abandon will greet you in the   night, with snake eyes, 
     Am     G      F      C   
the most precious time
